SQL Reporting Failure when DTS executes successfully

  • I have a DTS package that is scheduled through SQL Agent.  The DTS package runs to completion, and shows no failed steps in the history log.  SQL Agent always reports this job as failed.  The job only has one step, which is to execute the DTS package. 

    Anyone have any idea why the job would fail when the DTS package completes successfully? 

  • More info:  I do have some conditional branching in  my DTS package that causes some steps to be skipped, but I use global variables to handle the branching, so there is never a failed step, but some do show up in the log like this:

    DTSRun OnProgress:  DTSStep_DTSExecuteSQLTask_25; Step was not run; status was set to Inactive.; PercentComplete = 0; ProgressCount = 0

    Would this cause the SQL Agent job to report a failure?

     

  • How many steps/tasks in your package? Did all the steps run? Do you have logging enabled? If not, can you enable logging, rerun the package and review the logs. Is the last step an Activex task? If so, was the "Main = DTSTaskExecResult_Success" specified?
